So, I've been thinking about a trip somewhere very far away from Finland and the crappy winter climate. I've finally made up my mind (sort of) about the destination, and am thinking about going o Fiji for a couple of months, starting in January 2007. I've been toying around with the idea of getting a short term diving job as a DM in some dive shop somewhere in the islands, as I happen to hold that certification and job opportunities in Finland are obviously quite rare =) If there's someone with any experience about such things, could you please tell me if this is a completely impossible idea or something that might actually be possible =) Working for some time would help my budget a lot.. Thank you for any possible information.
Regards, Jaakko Laine, Finland

Too bad the instructor-certifications are SO DAMN EXPENSIVE, otherwise I would've gotten one long ago. Thanks for the info =)
regards, J
